Channellock 338 Diagonal Cutting Plier, 8 L, Blue

The 8-inch Channellock 338 Diagonal Cutting Plier is a high-quality tool that sets itself apart from the competition. Featuring precision-machined knife and anvil-style cutting edges, this plier ensures perfect mating and superior cutting edge life. Unlike most manufacturers that use two sharp edges that can become misaligned, Channellock's unique design provides proper cutting edge alignment for a clean cut every time.

Channellock utilizes high-carbon C1080 steel for superior performance on the job, and an electronic coating for ultimate rust prevention. The iconic blue handle not only offers comfort in the hand but also makes the tool easy to spot in a crowded tool bag.

This versatile plier can handle a variety of materials, including piano wire (0.063- to 0.091-inch thick), hard wire (0.047- to 0.091-inch), medium-hard wire (0.047- to 0.091-inch), and soft wire (0.162-inch maximum diameter). The laser-hardened edge ensures exceptional edge life, making this cutter a reliable and durable choice for professionals and DIYers alike.

Founded in 1886, Channellock is a worldwide leader in the manufacture of high-quality pliers and assorted hand tools. The company's tradition of dedication to excellence has been passed down through five generations of the DeArment family. Over the years, Channellock has obtained several patents, including one in 1965 for the conical surface created on the cam side of the pliers when undercut, and another in 1984 for the PermaLock fastener found in its Tongue and Groove Pliers.

Today, Channellock still manufactures more than 120 different sizes and types of pliers and hand tools at its facilities in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The 338 Diagonal Cutting Plier is a testament to the company's commitment to quality and innovation.

This cutter is a perfectly mated cutter, heat-treated to hold its edge. The pliers have polished high-carbon drop-forged steel and the Channellock Blue comfort grips. They are 100% guaranteed against breakage and failure, making them a reliable choice for any tool collection.

The 338 Diagonal Cutting Plier is a must-have for professionals and DIYers alike. With its precision-machined cutting edges, high-quality construction, and versatile cutting capabilities, this plier is sure to become an indispensable tool in your arsenal.
